PURPOSE: This data set provides Matlab models for estimating the lift and drag coefficients of three airfoils at 360-deg angles of attack. The airfoils are the (1) NACA 0012, (2) NACA 2412, and (3) Selig s1210. The models provide estimates for low-speed Reynolds Numbers of 50,000 and 100,000. This data is particularly useful for predicting the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines.
